Turn off monitors
Create a keyboard shortcut to power off your monitor
If you use three monitors, as I do, using the power buttons to turn off the monitors can be a little bit of a pain. Did you know that you can create a desktop/keyboard shortcut to turn them all off at once? You'll need to download a small utility called NirCmd, which you can get here:
http://www.vistanews.com/M2IOYE/090723-NirCmd
After you've done that, create a shortcut to the program:
- Right click the desktop and select New
- Select Shortcut
- Browse to the location where you saved NirCmd.exe
- In the Create Shortcut dialog box, where you type the location of the item, put quotation marks around the path, then add this to the end: cmdwait 1000 monitor off (Thus the contents of the box should look something like this: "C:\ Users \ YourName \ Downloads \ nircmd.exe" cmdwait 1000 monitor off)
- Click next
- To assign a keyboard shortcut, right click the shortcut icon and select Properties
- On the Shortcut tab, pick a key combination
- You can also change the icon to something more appropriate by clicking the Change Icon button
- Click OK
Now you can shut down the monitors by clicking the icon or by pressing the shortcut key combination.
